is a common foot and ankle physiologic deformity. The normal medial longitudinal arch is depressed or flattened due to a lack of strength in associated muscles, ligaments, and tendons. This study aimed to investigate how isokinetic hip muscular strength affected normal medial longitudinal arch feet and pea planus.

Objectives: This study was aimed at conducting the cross-cultural adaptation of the FRI-Arabic version (FRI-Ar) and testing the clinometric properties of FRI-Ar.
Methods: The cross-cultural adaptation process was used to develop the FRI-Ar.
Aim Of The Study: Foot pronation is often associated with increased internal rotation of the lower limb, predisposing the knee joint to greater stress. However, the impact of the pronated foot on knee joint laxity has not been well understood. The study aims to find out the effect of the pronated foot on knee joint laxity.

Therefore, the current study determines the effect of asymptomatic pronation of the foot on hip joint kinematics during gait.
Methods: Forty participants were recruited for the study (20 with asymptomatic pronated feet and 20 with non-pronated feet).
